A decompression strategy using torsemide was no better than using furosemide for the risk of all-cause mortality—the primary endpoint—or a composite of all-cause mortality and total hospitalizations, Robert Mentz, MD (Duke Clinical Research Institute , Durham, NC), one of the trial’s principal investigators, reported here at the 2022 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions....
